Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¾ cup shredded coconut (divided)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 3 tablespoons agave nectar
- ¾ cup frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Mixture: Combine the rolled oats, ground flaxseed, almond flour, and ½ cup of shredded coconut in a food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the ingredients are well combined and broken into small bits for a consistent base.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil and agave nectar. Pulse again in short bursts to mix everything evenly and start forming a batter-like consistency.
- Incorporate Raspberries: Add the frozen raspberries to the mixture and pulse gently in short bursts. The berries will break down slightly and combine to create a textured batter, adding moisture and flavor.
- Adjust Batter Consistency: Taste and test the batter. If you desire more sweetness, stir in an additional tablespoon of agave nectar. If the mixture feels too wet or loose, add another tablespoon of ground flaxseed or some extra shredded coconut to balance the texture.
- Shape the Balls: Use a cookie scoop to portion the batter into equal sizes. Roll each portion into a ball shape with your hands, then roll each ball in the remaining shredded coconut to coat and add texture.
- Store and Serve: Place the raspberry coconut balls in an airtight container and refrigerate. They will keep fresh for up to 7 days, making them a convenient ready-to-eat snack.
Notes
- You can substitute agave nectar with honey or maple syrup if preferred.
- If frozen raspberries are not available, fresh raspberries can be used, but the texture may vary slightly.
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour or oat flour.
- The balls are best stored in the fridge to maintain their shape and freshness.
- Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
